A Quest for Godliness

Packer’s depiction of historical figures like Wesley and Calvin was compelling. I wonder what led to highlighting these particular lives to illustrate spiritual growth.

Some parts felt deeply rooted in a different era, which made me think about how these lessons translate today. How do others interpret the relevance of this history for contemporary Christians?

Packer’s detailed approach adds depth but also slows the pace. I’m curious if the intent was to encourage reflection or if it was just the natural tone of the subject.
